She giggles. “That’s… only fair.”
My fingertips toy with the loose strand of blonde hair that escaped her ponytail. “Oh, you think that’s funny?”
She giggles even more.
I stand and lift her in my arms in one sweeping motion.
She squeals.
Holding her fireman style, I march towards the glass wall, slide it open, and stride towards the sunken fire pit, the exterior lights illuminating the way.
She wiggles in my arms.
“Knock yourself out, I’m not letting go.”
“Isn’t it a little warm to start a fire?”
“Who said anything about starting a fire?”
“Why are you going in the fire pit?”
I reach the last step, drop her to her feet, cross my arms over my chest, and adopt a military stance. “The punishment should fit the crime.”
She clasps her hands together. “Is it too late to beg for forgiveness?”
I shake my head. “There isn’t anything you could say that will change my mind.”
“What if I offer to suck your cock?” She bats her eyelashes.
“If you think that’s enough to sway me, think again. I have a one-track mind when it comes to teaching you a lesson you’ll never forget.”
Her shoulders slump. “All right, I’ll put my big girl panties on and face the music.” A small smile stretches her beautiful lips. “So, what’s my punishment?”
Ah, the eagerness in that innocent question.“Strip.”
Her eyebrows hit her forehead. “I must’ve misheard you.”
“Did I stutter?”
“Err… don’t you want to go upstairs to the bedroom? I’m easy. Yours or mine.”
“If the plan was for me to administer your punishment in the bedroom, don’t you think we would be standing there right now?”
She leans in. “Which book is this scene from?”
“I gave you an order, bad girl.”
Her head rears back. “Okay. Okay. Sheesh. I was making mental notes for later.”
“The more you keep stalling, the more I’ll show you no mercy.”
“But, we’re outside.”
“And your point?”
“Your neighbors? I’m a virgin when it comes to being an exhibitionist.”
“Don’t worry, your tits and ass won’t make the front page of the gossip rags tomorrow.”
